The educational goal of the Center's doctorate program is to train world-standard human resources with comprehensive and practical knowledge as doctorate-level technology experts and research specialists capable of meeting the new architectural engineering needs of the 21st century. Postgraduate students in the Center will be required to participate in practical projects undertaken by the Center. In this way, the Center will develop human resources with in-depth professional capabilities, broad perspectives and coordination skills. In an educational context, the Center will use research collaboration with universities, government organizations and businesses in Japan and overseas to provide opportunities for students to achieve their research goals by gathering data from a wide range of sites and conducting actual exploratory work. In addition, the Center will create opportunities for the publication of research findings in Japan and internationally, and students will be encouraged to propose plans. A variety of systems will be established for this purpose, including research funding and grants for the practical implementation of research findings.
